This is an absolutely lovely property, beautifully maintained and furnished in a contemporary rustic style. Whilst you can see from the pictures how lovely it is, the house still exceeded our expectations with its cosiness and the fact that it is so well equipped - the owners really have thought of everything from 2 large TVs to more than enough cutlery, crockery and kitchen utensils for our family of 5.

We slept our 3 teenage children in the lovely very large attic room with its double bed and extra single and much more space besides for a huge sofa and dining table and chairs.

Whilst the house was chilly on arrival the excellent heating system, with under-floor heating in the ground floor living area, did a great job of heating the place up.

The outside space is equally lovely and tasteful with a small lawned area, a wisteria covered pergola with table and chairs under, a roofed open outdoor space and a large drive.A sun trap for a large part of the day.

Located just west of Bassano del Grappa (definitely a town worthy of a trip in its own right) the house made an excellent base for day trips to Sirmione, Lake Garda (a bit under 2 hours drive away), Verona (1.5 hours be car and on the way to/from Lake Garda). We also visited Venice twice by train from the nearby station in Cassola. The journey is just €10 return and takes just over 1 hour. Arriving in Venice by train is must (if only to see the view on stepping out of the train station).

I would have no reservations at all in highly recommending this property and the owner, Luca, was always on hand to message with help and advice before, during and after (we left something behind!) our stay.

A big thank you to Luca for allowing us to stay in his lovely home and for all of his help during our stay 😊?
